THE LORD’S WILL BE DONE
Do you think that God wants us to be afraid? Definitely not! Two weeks ago, your memory verse was “Do not be afraid… I am with you.” (Acts 18:9-10) Paul believed and knew that God was always looking after him and would protect him when he needed protection. Even when he was put in jail, Paul would tell people the good news about Jesus Christ and the resurrection. He knew that his whole purpose in life was to tell
others about Jesus. In Matthew 26:39, Jesus is praying to God, his Father, and says,” Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Jesus knew that he was soon to be crucified and
was quite sad about this. However, he trusted God and knew that this was His perfect plan. In Acts 21:14, we read, “The Lord’s will be done.” Paul’s friends did not want him to go to because they were afraid that he would be killed there. Paul was not afraid because he knew that whatever happened to him, God was in control. When God wanted Paul in heaven, he was ready to go. Can we all say, “The Lord’s will be done”?

LET’S ENCOURAGE OTHERS
As young children you learn new things everyday. How to play nicely with others, good manners, cleaning up your messes, eating healthy foods, helping with chores, saying your alphabet, praying, and so on. There is a lot of things to remember and sometimes we get tired and forget to do everything properly. This is when your parent’s, grand-
parent’s, brothers, sisters, and friends can ENCOURAGE you. We all make mistakes and can get discouraged… but do not forget that God is a God of all encouragement. In Acts 20:2, we read about Paul going back to the churches he had started to speak “many words of encouragement to the people.” Paul’s words,comfort, and prayers, helped the other Christians continue on with their good works and keep spreading the news about Jesus,our Saviour. Paul wanted to live for God. “ I consider my life nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me…”(Acts 20:24)

GOOD NEWS SPREADS!
Back in our Junior Crosswalk Chronicle on January 20th, we learned about a man named Saul, who became a Christian when Jesus met him on the road to Damascus. Saul immediately began to teach the good news that “Jesus is the Son of God/Jesus is the Christ.” (Acts 9: 20/22) Now, in Acts 17, we will once again read about Saul, who is now called Paul “preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.” (Acts 17:18) Paul explained to the people that Jesus had to suffer and rise from the dead. As Christians, we just celebrated Jesus rising from the dead last weekend on Easter Sunday. What a special time of year it is when we can remember that we have new life in Christ. Jesus, God’s Son, is our Lord, our King, our Saviour and our Friend. Let’s help “spread the good news about Jesus to everyone we meet.
